About this event

Drawing on her remarkable personal and professional journey, Lydia Tischler will speak about her paper 'In the footsteps of her father: Anna Freud’s contribution to child analysis' and reflect on her own contributions to child analysis in conversation with Don Campbell and Gillian Ingall, chaired by Angela Joyce. Her story speaks powerfully to the possibility of transforming profound early trauma into a life of meaning, thought and care for others. This promises to be a moving and thoughtful evening honouring a much-loved colleague and teacher.

Refreshements will be available for in person attendees from 7:45pm, with the event formally starting at 8:15pm.

Lydia Tischler MBE is a Child Psychotherapist, an Honorary Fellow of the British Psychoanalytical Society, a member of the British Psychoanalytical Association (BPA) and the Association of Child Psychotherapists (ACP), and an Honorary Member of the British Psychological Society.

As a child, she survived time in two concentration camps before later training with Anna Freud at the age of 23. Throughout her distinguished career, Lydia has become a deeply respected and much-loved colleague, teacher, and mentor to generations of therapists, recognised for both her clinical insight and humanity.
